j {" i ; (Continued from Page 1) Part-time accountant Stan Howard reported. he had discovered other errors in accounting of interest from certain gas tax funds. He said he had not yet completely discovered all of these or the reasons for them, but there seemed to be some confusion about to what budget areas these interest monies should be credited. In addition to this, Roese and Howard noted there were some $25,000 in extra unbudgeted expenses, There include expenses for freeway utility relocation and inventory On hand as a result of this work, installation of the Gold Run sewer line, under-estimating on the cost of the Ott's Assay Office parking lot, a starting deficit in the sewer fund and a general fund deficit. The $19,000 in over estimated income, the 500 in misused gas tax monies ahd the $25,000 comes to a total of $51,500.

It should be pointed out that a portion of the $25,000 in unbudgeted expenses may not be expended before the end of the fiscal year, This would have the effect of reducing expenses and reducing the possible deficit. Councilman Beryl Robinson questioned Roese aboutthe financial straits of the city. “What is everyone going to do on the city payroll," he asked, “while we sit up here and twiddle ‘our thumbs?

Each subcommittee had received a “text book” outline from the consultant at the first meeting of the full committee on April 20, and since that time each sub-committee has been discussing and rewriting its outline in its own terms to fit Nevada County's special needs. Therewas a friendly and lively free interchange of ideas between the committee members and Cook, who complimented the committees for outstanding thought on their assignments. Each sub-committee w ill now proceed to make a preliminary report of policies, goals and objectives for the subjects covered by its outline to guide the making of the general plan. These preliminary reports, togetherwith any minority reports, are due June 1.
